Make 2. Follow Steps 1–6 for each slipper.

Step 1: Crochet the slipper base (rectangle)

Work all rows in red except for the black belt stripe. Change to black for the rows listed below, then change back to red for the remaining rows.

  • Small: Rows 16–18
  • Medium: Rows 17–19
  • Large: Rows 18–20

Row 1: Chain 30, dc in the 3rd ch from the hook and in each remaining ch across. Turn. (28 dc)
Row 2: Ch 2, dc in each st across. Turn. (28 dc)
Rows 3–20 (Small), 3–21 (Medium), or 3–22 (Large): Repeat Row 2. (28 dc)

Step 2: Sew the heel seam

Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise so the long edges line up. Using a yarn needle, sew one short end closed through both layers to form the heel.

Step 3: Shape the toe

To close the front of the slipper:

  1. Thread a length of yarn onto your yarn needle.
  2. Weave the yarn in and out along the stitches at the toe end.
  3. Gently pull both ends of the yarn to cinch the toe closed.
  4. Tie a secure knot.

Step 4: Sew the top of the slipper

Sew the front seam closed for approximately 3 inches from the toe. Use red yarn through the red rows and switch to black yarn when you reach the black belt stripe. If the seam continues past the black stripe, switch back to red yarn for the remaining red rows.

Matching the sewing yarn to each section keeps the seam from showing through the Santa belt design.

Step 5: Crochet the Santa buckle

  • Use yellow yarn.
  • The ch-2 spaces will form the corners of the buckle.

Rnd 1: Ch 20 and join with a sl st to form a ring.
Rnd 2: Ch 2, hdc in next 6 chs, ch 2, hdc in next 4 chs, ch 2, hdc in next 6 chs, ch 2, hdc in next 4 chs, ch 2, join with a sl st to the first hdc. (20 hdc + 4 ch-2 spaces)

Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Step 6: Attach the Santa buckle

Position the Santa buckle over the black stripe on the front of the slipper. Use a yarn needle to sew it securely in place.

Finishing

Weave in all remaining yarn ends. Gently stretch the slippers to shape if needed.
